The LUKAS 1862 Watercolour Metal Box 24 Half Pan Set showcases the finest tradition of German watercolour making, combining historical craftsmanship with modern innovation. This professional set includes twenty-four carefully selected shades – from bright primaries and rich earth tones to soft neutrals and deep darks – offering artists a versatile palette for both expressive colour work and subtle tonal studies.

LUKAS Aquarell 1862 watercolours are crafted using only the purest, high-quality pigments of exceptional permanence and concentration. Each pigment is finely ground to 2 μm (2/1000 mm), ensuring unparalleled transparency, intensity, and clarity. The exclusive binder system, composed of the purest gum arabic with selected dextrins and glucose derivatives, provides excellent dilution, coverage, and smooth flow. Thanks to their permanently moist formulation, the colours lift easily from the pan without excessive scrubbing, preserving brush quality and allowing effortless reactivation.

Produced through a gentle, heat-controlled process, the paints retain the integrity of their raw materials, delivering even, streak-free washes and delicate gradients. Housed in a durable metal box with space for mixing, this 24-colour set is an ideal choice for professional artists who demand precision, brilliance, and control in every stroke.
